I don't really see what the problem is with that. C libraries seem to do it that way without too much trouble. What would be the harm in having Apache2_2:: and Apache3:: and Apache27:: etc.? It's no worse than saying "I want Apache::Foo, but from the 2.2 distribution." Is the fear that it will be too confusing to users? - Perrin -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
